Chapter 148: The Underground Maze

Magic is the foundation of this world, it makes the multiverse what it is, it is fascinating and mysterious, it runs through the origin of the world, or magic is the origin of this world. All things are born of the elements, imbued with the power of magic. It is chaotic and orderly, it is rational and illogical.

Primordial magic is the material from which all things are created, the silent and ignorant consciousness of existence itself, which permeates every bit of matter and manifests itself in any form of energy in the multiverse.

This is magic, a system that is very different from science.

Chen Ang's exploration is not only fighting against the endless unknown, but also fighting against himself all the time, and the logical concepts and thinking patterns called science are deeply ingrained in his mind, incomparably solid and tenacious. This gave him an infinite spirit of exploration and research, but it also imprisoned his way of thinking.

It is true that Chen Ang can deconstruct magic from a scientific point of view, in fact, he is adapting to the world in this way, and this world has brought him something completely new, which is rapidly being assimilated and integrated by the old mind. Science is a path to truth, but that doesn't mean that Chen Ang will fix a relatively rigid mode of thinking.

In this way, the new ideas, new changes, and new ideas in this world are very worthy of study and research, and while trying to abandon the influence of the old mode of thinking, Chen Ang is trying his best to maintain the relative independence of thinking.

Knowledge is priceless, and wisdom is even higher, but more important than both, only imagination.

When the imagination is imprisoned in the old stereotyped thinking, it is not wrong to call it the twilight of the godsβ€”the twilight of the mind!

"Magic Net, a very apt name! Primordial magic, or the orderly web woven by primordial magic, is sharp and flexible. Communicates with the caster and the primordial magical power. I can imagine how much civilization and individual wisdom are the result of this vast network? Chen Ang's fingertips flickered with a faint white light, and quickly dyed his fingers a silvery white color.

He swiped his fingertips across the void in front of him, leaving behind a line of colorful characters, full of twisted and messy intricacies and eccentricities, this impactful spiritual power. It's like cramming a 20G file into the brain of someone watching it.

It's a 0-ring trick - a magic trick!

"Many people think that magic is orderly, that it is intelligent, that it is an elegant art, that it is difficult knowledge, but only those who are close to the truth like us can perceive that the origin of all things has no attributes! Chaos and order, evil and goodness mean nothing to it, because this is what intelligent beings have imposed on this world! ”

"And magic existed before that!" As if greeting an old friend, Chen Ang sat on the right side of the table in a relaxed manner. And to his left was empty.

An unfamiliar voice came from the left side of the table, a deep laugh, like a muffled voice, "Until then, magic didn't exist, and it was we who prescribed it!" ”

"Weaving the chaotic and furious primordial magic into docile magic? That's right. That's exactly what you guys! Chen Ang was noncommittal, the index finger of his right hand was irregular. With a slight flick, a strange black shadow twisted into the air, existing in space in an extremely distorted form. A black tentacle cautiously poked out of it, twisting and flung in mid-air, raising its body high.

Like a frightened worm.

"Primal magic! Ha ......" His deep voice seemed to be amused, and he let out a shrill shrill chuckle nervously. The small piece of shadow that communicated with the shadow plane in mid-air shook violently, and the tentacles of the shadow creature suddenly straightened out, let out a sharp cry, and writhed violently in mid-air, as if dying and struggling.

"A pseudo-concept! To put it another way. It should be the superficial surface of the multiverse, belonging to the part of energy affinity, the essence of magic is the universe itself, the creation of everything, the regulation of everything, the existence of matter, energy, information and soul sublimated by a nucleus on all sides! Among them, the part that can be affected by the soul is defined as primordial magic. ”

"It is furious and untamed, it is subject to great distractions and chaos at all times, it is changeable and secretive, like a lover with an eccentric temper, and as crazy and great as the sea, and if I had to describe it as a being, it would be - woman!"

"Hahaha! Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The strange being laughed wildly, and even caused a violent cough, and he endured great discomfort and said with difficulty: "Mistra is down!" That framer is going crazy! What did we do? We gave a woman a chew on it! Well said, precisely defined. ”

"This is exactly what the web is, and although Mistra has always claimed that she created the web because of a war between Suren and Sarah, we all know that she is a projection of the web itself! We created her, all the contracts and agreements about the web, its structure and weaving, its information and way of being. ”

"It was the mage who created the magic web, not the magic web that created the mage itself! The magic web is not a god, it is not an idol, it is woven by us, it is the agreement and existence of the magic power stipulated by the caster, understand this, it is a legend! At least that's the case for the caster. Although we call it by an exact word, the web is not an isolated existence......"

"It's more of a conceptual thing, and Mystra is a part of it, and maybe a symbol of something else......"

Chen Ang's memory is closer to this concept - the Internet, a concept that only exists, is composed of countless protocols and information, and is set up in a part of the material world.

The magic network is the sum of all the orders and regulations about the primordial magic power set up on the shallow energy interference layer of the multiverse, and in a narrow sense, it is the energy information network controlled by the administrator - Mistra.

Composed of a general administrator, Mystra, and several related administrators, such as the mage god, a large number of spellcaster users, a relatively large number of programmer mages, and the balance-disrupting hacker Grand Arcanist and legendary mage, the large dimensional energy LAN - the magic web. Similarly, there is also a competitor in the Magic Net system - the Shadow Magic Net.

"Wonderful acquaintance, Lord Hylast!" Chen Ang couldn't help but admire, who would have thought that a mad mage living in seclusion in a dungeon would have such a crazy conversation with the controller of a small gang. This outright mad mage doesn't seem to be as crazy as the legend goes, so crazy that he can't communicate.

Of course, this is just Chen Ang's personal opinion, and most people will probably think that this is an exchange between two madmen, if the world is magical, where are the gods?

"Keen inspiration, unique perspective, my neighbor! Your goblins are digging into the labyrinth. I welcome a wise neighbor, but I must be reminded that mages are always withdrawn and allergic, and in one place, only one mage tower can exist! Again, there can only be one dominant player. ”

Helast looked very calm, even elegant and wise, and considering that this was not yet the surface, the state of his madness was intriguing.

"Waterdeep is a charming place, full of sparks of destiny and spirituality, and if you live here, you will often be disturbed by surprises, bards, shadow thieves, harpists, and the Sanlin Tower, you are not in trouble!"

"What's the trouble?" Chen Ang asked with a smile.

Hylaste was silent for a long time, and nodded approvingly: "What kind of trouble is this?" Of course, it can't be called trouble, because change is opportunity, and the opportunity that can be grasped is certainly not trouble! ”

"But, even so, it's still a long way from convincing me!"

Fern is not a place where most conflicts can be handled with words, Feron is always in the contradiction of existence, and it is strength and weapons that are admired here. (To be continued......)
